Stunning! This book is the perfect example of timing being everything. I tried to read this book when it was first released and I don't think I got passed the first 25 pages. I tried again after I saw the movie with the same outcome. Fast forward to 2016, the book obviously hasns't changed but I am a completely different reader and I LOVED this book. I'm pretty generous with 5 star reviews but I don't add many books to my favorites shelf which is where this one ended up. It is a slow burn and you have to be patient and take your time but the reward is so worth it. The story is beautiful and haunting and I am so glad that I kept trying and finally found the right time to read this.

Perfect example of 'right timing' Amanda.
I have this book on my shelf. Looks like I need to find room in the queue. Great review!
Great timely review - I picked this up for $1 at a library sale in Door County Wisconsin in October when we were on vacation! Woot!
Great review Amanda! I loved this too!
Wonderful review Amanda...A wonderful book.
I had the same experience. I also tried and failed to read this book in the late '90s. This time around, I loved it. Like you, I am a different reader now.
